For traders and households in Al Ahsa:

- Cars: on an enclosed carrier.
- Urgent items: by air via Dammam airport.
The shipment’s route from Al Ahsa to Jordan
| Stage | Details | Approx. time |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and packing | At your home, farm or warehouse in Al Ahsa | One day |
| Al Ahsa → Al Haditha | About 1,600 km north via Riyadh or Hafar Al Batin | About two days |
| Crossing and clearance | Al Haditha, then Al Omari | Hours to a day |
| Al Omari → your address | Amman, Zarqa, Irbid and the other governorates | One day |
Al Ahsa is slightly further from Al Haditha than Dammam, but the truck does not need to pass through Dammam; it leaves Hofuf straight onto the Riyadh road or the Hafar Al Batin road, whichever is faster.
Which crossing does your shipment from Al Ahsa use?
| Saudi → Jordanian crossing | Area | Usually used by shipments from | Closest to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Al Haditha → Al Omari | Al Qurayyat, Al Jouf | Riyadh, Qassim, the Eastern Province and Hail | Amman, Zarqa, Mafraq and Irbid |
| Halat Ammar → Al Mudawwara | Tabuk | Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah and Tabuk | Maan, Aqaba, Karak and Tafilah, then Amman on the Desert Highway |
Al Haditha is the crossing for Al Ahsa shipments to Jordan, the closest to Amman and Zarqa from the east, and there is no benefit in going round west to Halat Ammar.

Transit time from Al Ahsa to Jordan’s governorates
| Governorate in Jordan | Approx. door-to-door time by land |
|---|---|
| Amman, Zarqa, Salt and Madaba | 4 – 6 working days |
| Irbid, Mafraq, Jerash, Ajloun and Ramtha | 5 – 7 working days |
| Karak, Tafilah and Maan | 4 – 7 working days |

We count the time from loading in Al Ahsa to delivery in Jordan. For dates and goods, inspection time on the Jordanian side may be added, so we send their papers early.
Al Ahsa dates to Jordan
Al Ahsa dates are among the most requested in Jordan, especially Khalas, Shishi and Ruzaiz. Traders send them in quantity, and families send them as gifts to relatives. We stack them in sealed cartons on wrapped pallets and prepare the commercial invoice, certificate of origin and the health certificate the Jordanian side may ask for with food.
Small quantities ship with furniture on the shared truck, large ones on a full truck, and in the summer months we recommend a refrigerated truck for the softer varieties.
Packing furniture in Al Ahsa

Al Ahsa homes are mostly spacious family houses with large majlis rooms and heavy wooden furniture. So we prepare:
- Arabic majlis seating: cushions and backrests rolled and tied, rugs folded and wrapped.
- Heavy wooden furniture dismantled where possible and wrapped in plastic then blankets.
- Large wardrobes dismantled with every panel numbered.
- Appliances in double-wall cartons, fridges emptied a day before.
- Dishes and coffee pots in divided cartons.
Loading in Al Ahsa and the truck type
We arrive with a truck sized to your home, load heavy items first and fragile ones last, and strap the load well because the road to Al Haditha is long and crosses desert stretches.

| Truck type | Best for | How it is priced |
|---|---|---|
| Shared truck | One or two rooms, cartons, a few appliances | Per item or per cubic metre |
| Private dyna or medium truck | A small flat or an office | One price for the whole trip |
| 13 m closed trailer | A villa or large home, or furniture with goods | One price for the whole trip |
| Car carrier | One or more cars | Per car, by size |
If you have only a few items, we move them to our Eastern Province warehouse, where they are loaded onto the shared truck with a mark and a number.
Car shipping from Al Ahsa to Jordan
We collect the car from your home in Al Ahsa, fit a protective cover, then load it onto an enclosed car carrier and secure it, so it reaches Jordan free of road dust.

Jordan sets conditions on importing used cars, the main one being the car’s age counted from its year of manufacture. These conditions are amended by government decisions from time to time, and duties differ between petrol, hybrid and electric cars and by engine size and value. So we send your car’s details to the broker in Jordan before booking and tell you what applies to it, so a car that cannot be cleared never sets off. Its papers from the Kingdom: a valid registration, no fines or liens, an export request through Absher or the traffic department with the plates handed in, the purchase invoice or sale contract, and a copy of your passport and iqama or ID.
If you will drive your own car to Jordan for a visit and bring it back, that is a temporary entry on a customs passbook (carnet/triptyque) and needs no shipping; a permanent move means exporting the car and shipping it on a carrier.
Delivery in Jordan
After clearance the truck continues to your address in Amman, Zarqa, Irbid, Mafraq or elsewhere, and goods to the receiver’s warehouse. The crew unloads, carries everything inside and reassembles the furniture if that is part of the agreement.

Air freight from Al Ahsa to Jordan
When a shipment cannot wait for the road trip, we send it by air from King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, about an hour and a half from Hofuf to Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, usually arriving in one to three working days including clearance.
Air suits what is light and needed quickly:
- Documents, university certificates and official papers.
- Small devices such as laptops and phones in their original boxes.
- Clothes, gifts and personal items you need as soon as you arrive.
- Spare parts and commercial samples.
The price is charged on the greater of actual and volumetric weight, so a large light carton may be charged as if it were heavy. Send us the weight and dimensions and we will work out the chargeable weight for you. Furniture and large appliances are far cheaper by land and arrive only a few days later.
Shipping goods from Al Ahsa to Jordan
Besides dates, Al Ahsa traders send palm products, packaged sweets, light building materials and consumer goods to Jordan. We stack them on pallets, prepare their commercial papers and ship on a shared or full truck.
Areas we collect from in Al Ahsa
Hofuf and Al Mubarraz and their districts such as Al Mohammadiyah, Al Rashidiyah, Al Salmaniyah and Ain Musa; Al Uyun; Al Jafr; Al Taraf; Al Qarah; Al Munaizilah; Al Mutairfi; Al Shubah; Al Kilabiyah; Al Umran; Salwa; and Al Uqair.
Furniture exemption for returning Jordanian expatriates
A Jordanian expatriate who ends their residence in the Kingdom and returns to settle in Jordan can bring in their furniture and household items free of duties, under conditions set by the Jordan Customs Department, chiefly:
- You have lived outside Jordan for a year or more.
- Proof that your residence in the Kingdom has ended: a cancelled iqama, the end of your work contract or a resignation, a new work contract in Jordan, a certified lease or title deed for a home, or your children’s transfer to Jordanian schools.
- The owner attends in person or by official authorisation, and the husband or wife has arrived in Jordan.
- An original packing list of the furniture, appliances and items.
- The exemption is granted once; anyone who used it and then went back to live abroad cannot get a new one until five years have passed.
- Any furniture that follows later must arrive within six months of your arrival date.
These conditions may be amended, so we write the packing list to match the truck item by item and review your file with the broker in Jordan before loading. We also time the shipment with your travel so you are in Jordan when your belongings arrive.
Documents required for shipping to Jordan
- A copy of the sender’s passport and iqama or ID, and a copy of the receiver’s ID in Jordan.
- A numbered packing list with the contents of every carton and item.
- Proof that your residence in the Kingdom has ended, for permanent returnees.
- An authorisation for the clearing company in Jordan.
- For goods: a commercial invoice, certificate of origin and packing list.
- For cars: export papers from the traffic department and the purchase invoice.
Clearance at the Al Omari crossing
The truck leaves the Saudi side on an export declaration prepared in advance, then enters Jordan, where the broker files the customs declaration and the load is checked against the packing list. When the list is accurate and the exemption is ready, all of this goes quickly.
Items outside the exemption, such as commercial goods and new appliances in quantity, are subject to customs duties and Jordanian sales tax, and we explain that before loading, not after.
Cargo insurance
The road to Jordan is long, crossing hundreds of kilometres of desert, so we pack for a long journey, not a move across town. Even so, we recommend insuring the shipment for a small percentage of its declared value, especially cars, expensive appliances and antiques, and we photograph your belongings before loading.
What cannot be shipped to Jordan
- Flammable materials, gas cylinders, fuel and paints.
- Weapons, ammunition and anything resembling them.
- Medicines in commercial quantities or without a prescription.
- Fresh food, meat, plants and soil.
- Loose lithium batteries by air.
- Counterfeit goods or anything banned under either country’s rules.

- You send photos or a list of your belongings and the governorate you are moving to in Jordan.
- We estimate the volume, choose the truck and crossing, and send the price.
- We review your exemption file if you are returning for good, and the car papers if any.
- The crew arrives on time to dismantle, pack, list and load.
